I’ve been working 50 hour weeks for ~8 months now, with about 3 weeks break (40-44 hours).
When anyone complains, the standard mantra of “business needs” is repeatedly chanted at us until we go away. Our HR department has completely forgotten what the ‘H’ stands for. When you see them about anything, they act as if their own mantra is “when you take advantage of your benefits, you take advantage of your company”.
I also recently found out that my yearly $200 donation to the United Way for various charities was not spread out to help AIDS or breast cancer charities, but was all given to Hospice instead. A worthy charity, but i wanted to spread it out a little bit. They don’t care.
It’s completely burning me out. I’m exhausted all the time, and on my days off, i never get anything done anymore. My off hours are spent vegetatively reading the news online.
I’ve been getting fat again, and my mood has been crappy, so i’ve decided to start taking SAM-e again (mood), and Stacker3 XPLC (metabolism).
Good news: Lisa is moving away in like a few days.
